Hi all.

So, My big, epidemius daemon army has served me well so far, but I would like to add, a 4th daemon prince, now that I can do so with chaos space marine allies.

My question is, how should I gear it out? And what should I take for my bare minimum troops? (I want my daemons to very much remain the focus of the army, only reason I am taking allies really, is to get my hand's on a 4th nurgle daemon prince.

So, basically, I need help designing a good, killy, nurgle daemon prince. Any tip's/suggestions?

I would recommend taking a team of nurgle obliterators to help get that tally up faster, as for the demon prince all he really needs is wings, armor and to stay away from Str 10.

For troops, either some cultists with MON and autoguns, because nothings better than having the tally at 20 and having autoguns that ignore armor. You can also just use normal CSM with MON just as well, melta guns are always useful.

I would run Prince, Nurgle Dedication, Armor, Flight and Boon of Mutation.

For a weapon the Black Mace is very good - but he does not strictly need to take a weapon.

Cultists fill a great role for Daemons as cheap backfield objective holders. I would keep them cheap with two units of 15 (or so) to add some bodies.

Helldrakes, oblits, and culstists are all great choices to add to a daemon army.

Slap the burning brand on him for some torrenting ap3 flame goodness!
